Arsenal aren’t going to win the title by buying bang average player are they? But for some reason, that's exactly what the club seem to be aiming for if the link to Solly March reported in Team Talk is true.

The Brighton winger has impressed following his move from Fulham two years ago. He’s played 26 games this season and scored the late equaliser in their FA Cup quarter-final against Millwall, but is this isn't the calibre of player Arsenal should be looking at.

We know sometimes a few diamonds can be found in the rough, but Arsenal are surely looking to challenge for the title and the Champions League in the next few years, so they should be after players already at the highest level of European football. March is nowhere near that level.

Arsenal will once again have a limited budget in the summer, and perhaps that explains why they’d be interested in the £7m-rated wide man (as per Transfermarkt). That may be true, but it’s simply not good enough, particularly when the club's promising to compete at the top of table again.

It’s laughable to think Manchester United can be linked with Paulo Dybala and then Arsenal can be linked with Brighton’s winger. That just shows the ambition gap between the two clubs, and without signing the best talent Arsenal can’t compete with the teams that are.

His one goal and five assists this season will hardly have the Gunners’ faithful licking their lips in anticipation of a great season. This sort of signing is Europa League quality and that’s exactly where Arsenal will stay if they don’t aim for the best players in Europe.
